TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of or excerpt from a well-done
software or programming manual which uses the concept of minimalism (or
in other words, is a "minimal manual" rather than a standard manual
format). I'm really interested in seeing how such a manual would differ
from a traditional manual format--there are a number of papers on the
subject, but I don't recall seeing a significant example in any of them
which really illustrates the differences between the minimal approach as
opposed to standard approaches.
Any suggestions, references, URLs, samples, etc. on this are
appreciated.
